A member asked:

Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) vs mirelle: should i change contraceptive pills from one to the other?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, you don't: Both pills have been implicated in having caused blood clots in women. If you have taken one or the other for more than six months to a year and it has been working for you, stay on it.
